I have purchased this phone on Feb 14 2013 on the day of launching of Canvas HD it was the valentine day gift for us as company said and we also felt. I always looked for a phone with 5inch screen and a blasting specs. That time this phone was the easily the most awaited budget handset for the Indian market.Design and build are Slim and sleek is the Canvas HD, Front have 5inch hd display, but the rear cover has a glossy finish with a fine sprinkle of pixie dust that time i have got only this cover later on people get mat finish cover with the handset, This gives it a nice shine and also manages to conceal quite a bit of fingerprints.The battery cover is easy to remove thanks to the soft plastic. Inside, we have two GSM SIM slots with the microSD card slot in between. None of these are hot-swappable and you’ll need to remove the battery to insert the cards.The power and volume rocker buttons assume their usual place on either side of the handset and are easy to reach. The headphone jack and microUSB port are placed on the top.it is lighter as well at 157 g. The handset is quite comfortable even if you don’t have large hands and fits snugly in your pocket. You’ll want to be careful where you place your phone, though, as the protruding camera lens could get scratched easily thats why i always put my front side down on tabel. In the features Interface IPS panel makes a return in the Canvas HD, but instead of a lowly WVGA resolution, the A116 boasts of an impressive HD (1280 x 720) resolution, which makes all the difference in the world. Text is sharper, images are more vivid and crisp and the UI simply looks better. The panel itself has good viewing angles along with good colors. However, i noticed that the videos didn't have the same level of vividness as photos. For playing hd videos used mx player as i always do.The A116 features a lightly-modified Jelly Bean 4.1.2. You get notification toggles and extra settings in the menu to configure the two SIM cards. Now its is updated to 4.2 jaly bean on july 13 which was good, but i am still waiting for 4.3 update. The Canvas HD is powered by the MediaTek MT6589 quad-core SoC. This is made up of four ARM Cortex-A7 CPUs running at 1.2GHz and a PowerVR SGX 544MP GPU. The SoC is fabricated using the 28nm process, so it should sip power rather than gulp it down. The chipset also houses the baseband radios, so there’s no need for a second chip. This budget oriented SoC packs in quite a punch as well. A 2000mAh battery powering a 5-inch HD screen and a quad-core SoC did not sound very good. Surprisingly, the Canvas HD managed to deliver 7-hours and 45-minutes of continues video playback. This translates to roughly 14-hours of real world usage, which is not bad all things considered.The image quality is good. The sensor is able to pick up decent amount of detail and color nce you zoom in to 100 percent, the details get a bit hazy, but that’s to be expected from a camera at this price point. can record hd video.

After I lost my Samsung Galaxy, my hubby got me this budget friendly mobile. I have been living with Micromax A116 for more than a year now & can honestly say that anyone bought this phone would’ve not been disappointed. This might not be a jaw dropping or a drop dead dazzling phone like the iPhones, Samsung’s and HTC’ces… but one year back this handset was most sensible handset to buy. The phone is neatly built for its budget. Though I had difficulty in using it in the beginning bracket for its size, now I’m used to it. I’m not technically trained to talk about benchmarks and other stuff but I can say this, it will not freeze, no call drops, & no restarts. Display is something worth talking; it is clean and bright, photos looks good here. If I’ve to talk about everyone’s favorite feature bracket Camera, I’m an amateur mobile photographer, and to me the clarity is good in day light, & at night, snaps with this mobile, not a good option. Games like Angry Birds, & Candy Crush runs smoothly. Battery can last one full day under normal circumstances. If I’ve to mention one thing I’m not happy about this handset, then it would be pre-installed apps. I’ve not even touched them in this more than a year long journey, waste of storage. This all an average user cares about & I’ve actually influenced few people to buy it. In all honesty, I’m happy that I was part of the Micromax A116 revolution - The No Regret Mobile!

Unboxing. The Micromax Canvas HD ships in a modest little box with all the basic accessories bundled in.The retail box contents include: 1. Micromax A116 Canvas HD 2. Earphones 3. AC Charger 4. USB Cable 5. Documentation.Design The Canvas HD capitalizes on the popularity of the phablet style handsets by offering similar capabilities at a fraction of the price point. Measuring 144x74x10.7mm, the dimensions are definitely pocketable. The handset weighs a mere 156 grams which is just fine for a 5 inch sized smartphone.The Micromax Canvas HD looks like the Canvas 2. The front is mostly just the 5 inch capacitive IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1280. Below the display are three capacitive keys while above it you can find a 2 megapixel front facing camera a notification light.The left side sports just the volume rockers while the right hand side has the power key. Both keys are a bit flush with the handset and some users might find that there is lack of tactile feedback.Over at the top there’s a micro USB charging port as well as 3.5mm audio jack. The back of the handset contrasts with the piano black front by being made of glassy white plastic, however this device has the matte - finished variant also. An 8MP camera module is placed right at the top with a dual LED flash below it. A MicroMax logo can be spotted right above the speaker grille. We’re not huge fans of the slippery glossy material used as it is prone to getting scratched up and attracts fingerprints too. Performance. The Micromax Canvas HD runs on the most powerful unit from the Mediatek line of processors. Inside the handset you’ll find a 1.2Ghz Quad Core Cortex-A7 Mediatek MT6589 processor with a PowerVR SGX544MP graphics chip. There’s 1GB of RAM which should help keep things running smooth while multitasking. Inbuilt storage is restricted to 4GB which can be understood considering the budget positioning of the handset though you do get a microSD slot. This device did not struggle in most of the benchmarks as compared to other phones in the same price range with a score of 4062 in quadrant and 9704 in antutu. However benchmarks do not signify the actual value of the product accurately. Camera The camera on the Micromax Canvas HD is an 8 Megapixel auto focus unit with dual LED flash for low light shots.The camera interface is a proprietary app which is a bit of a shame considering that it doesn’t have as many options as that on the stock Android camera. That said, all the essentials are covered. However focusing speed is definitely not it’s strong point and it struggles a lot with close up shots. White balance too tends to be off. Images were noise free for the most part and image quality is above average but they definitely don’t stand out. The camera also suffers from blown highlights but this can be remedied by setting exposure levels a notch lower. Coming to the final verdict, Canvas HD is a good package but its worst after - purchase servicing is a great regression.
